Specification of Letters Patent. I

Application filed March 25, 1913.

Patented Mar. 3, 1914. Serial No. 756,669.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY S. BREWING- TON, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in Baltimore city and State of Maryland, have inventedcertain newand useful Improvement-s in "Writing-Pens, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in writing pens, the object beingto provide a pen which will write a maximum number of letters withoutredipping the pen in the ink, having to a limited degree the qualitiesof a fountain pen, while at the same time it is a pen which may be usedwith an ordinary pen holder.

lVith the foregoing object in view, my invention consists in a pen madefrom a single piece or sheet metal, havingone or more corrugated orfluted wings, the wings being bent beneath the body partof the pen toform a plurality of channels, which channels are formed by thecorrugations, for retaining a quantity of ink, the channels being openare thus rendered accessible for the purpose of cleaning the pen. Thelower ends of the wings being formed that when the wings are bentbeneath the body part,

the ends of the wings extend down well under the nibs of the pen for thepurpose of feeding the ink to the point, so that all combine to hold theink and pay it out as required in the operation of writing.

My invention further consists, in certain novel features of constructionand combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described andpointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, inwhich like characters are used to designate like parts in the severalviews shown; Figure 1 is a view of the blank; Fig. 2 is a view of theblank after the corrugations have been formed therein; Fig. 3 is anelevation of the completed pen; Fig. i is a longitudinal sectional Viewof the pen, and Fig. 5 is a transverse section on the line 55 of Fig. 3.

A, represents the body part of the pen, having the usual concavity 1throughout its length, it being preferably rounded at one end where itenters the pen holder, and pointed at the other end 2, it may be ofvarious shapes. The pointed end 2 has the usual slit 3, and orifice 4whereby the pen is divided into nibs 55. At the sides the two wings 6-6are formed, preferably as an integral part, and the wings are sharp andforward ends of the pointed at 7-7, and ex- I tend well down toward thepoint of the pen.

to the body part are. longitudinally corrugated or fluted at 8 to Thewings relative form the channels 9.

In the manufa ;ture of the pen, the body part is preferably stamped by asuitable die (not shown) from a sheet of metal, the blank thus stampedbeing shown in Fig. 1. The wings 66 are then corrugated as indicated at8 in Fig. 2, forming the channels 9, the wings are then bent beneath thebody part, completing the pen as shown in Fig. 3. The points 7-? extendwell down toward the point 2, under the nibs 5-5 in order to supply theink evenly to the point of the pen. In thisway a pen is formed whichcarries a large supply of ink in the channels 9, which ink is made toflow gradually along the nibs to the point 2 of the pen as it isrequired in writing. Each channel, as well as the recesses 10 betweenthe corrugations and the body part, and the orifice a contribute to holdthe ink and to supply it as it is required.

.The construction of the pen is such that the channels are easilyaccessible for the purpose of being cleaned, whereby the life andusefulness of the pen is prolonged to a greater degree and advantage, ascompared with pens of difierent structure having the same object inview.

Various other modifications might be resorted to without departing fromthe spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limitmyselito the exact construction as herein set forth, but:

Having fully described my invention, what ll claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A pen of the character described, having integral corrugated sidewings forming open channels therein, which wings are bent beneath thebody part of the pen.

2. A. pen of the character described, comprising a body part havingintegral side w1ngs, the wings'being longitudinally corrugated relativeto the body part forming longitudinal open channels therein, which wingsare bent beneath the body part of the pen. Y

3. A pen of the character described, made from a single piece of sheetmetal, comprising abody art having integral side wings 'pointed on tlongitudinally corrugated relative to the 5 said body part, forminglongitudinal open channels therein, which wings are bent beneath thetody part of the pen with the pointed "ends f said wings extended eirlower ends, the wings being i .downwerdly toward the pointandnnder-the\i said body part of the pen. 4

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.I
